No. Though I never liked it to begin with.
It was funny initially, but not that funny.
Powerlevel threads, aside of the aforementioned Alcides.
There is only the one, and I don't go there.

Debatable. He has good in-character reasons for his feelings and behaviour, has good conceptual reasons (I'd say humans overcoming the supernatural / the divine is an important theme in "Fate" and "Tsukihime", with Alkeides being a twisted representation of said theme), may have good narrative reasons as well (it's still too early to tell), and isn't devoid of substance.
I do agree that his third NP isn't to my liking, but it may be more conceptually interesting than I'm giving it credit.
"Edge" is ultimately neither good or bad in my opinion. Like any trope, it can be executed well or poorly depending on the particular story and character.
Not in the slightest, friend.
So does Kiritsugu and he's edgy too.
E) To go into more detail now that I'm at a computer, I don't mind Alkeides. His nature, his position in the war, and narrative bother me, but I can push that aide cause it's whatever. When I say he's edgy I don't mean it as an insult, I'm just taking a jibe at his character because that specific nature of him is literally low-hanging fruit for fun pickings.
I adore Shirou, but I'll forever call him an idiot cause that's what he is. There's a narrative reason that fits in with Fate's theme yes, but he's still an idiot.

Strike me down when I say it isn't really fair to call Shirou an idiot. Wasn't the point of his character that his priorities and sense are reversed compared to other people? He doesn't THINK like us, but we try to apply a human mindset to him, THEN he looks stupid.
"us"
Though abandoned, forgotten, and scorned as out-of-date dolls, they continue to carry out their mission, unchanged from the time they were designed.
Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
I don't think its unfair to apply a human mindset to a human
Shirou can get pretty fucking stupid throughout each route. Comes with being a harem protag with the audience surrogate tag too.
Well, a human being who has no value towards his life, and is so crazy he carries a Reality Marble, which humans CAN'T carry.
As in us, as in a regular human being.
Yeah sure, Shirou is known for making a few boneheaded decisions here and there, but it's not his fault his sense of self was erased, and adopted his father's ideal to continue existing.

Yeah, and not all of his "stupidity" can necessarily be chalked up to suicidal altruism either. There's also, for instance, his complete blindness to how obviously suspicious Shinji was acting in the Fate route.
One day it will die, right?
Fix one person's misunderstanding, and two more take their place.
You mean the human? A machine can wear out, but hey, even machines can wave dreams.
And doesn't Avalon make him immortal?
Okay, I admit, he can be as dense as a sword sometimes.
